Ingelheim: Boehringer Ingelheim has recently announced that the European Commission (EC) has granted a conditional marketing authorization for the company's spesolimab as first in class treatment for GPP flares in adults.
Spesolimab is a novel, selective antibody that blocks the activation of the interleukin-36 receptor (IL-36R), a signaling pathway within the immune system shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of GPP.
"The symptoms of GPP are devastating and cause immense pain as well as hospitalization during a flare. Increased GPP awareness that leads to accurate and faster diagnosis is one important step to improving the quality of life for people living with GPP," said Frida Dunger Johnsson, Executive Director, IFPA. "Now with a specifically developed treatment, people living with GPP can be offered a new lease of life by effectively managing the impact of GPP flares."
